Default Brake Line Popped! Can I Pinch The Brake Line To Get My Car Home?

So my drivers side rear brake line must have popped or something, I hit the brake pedal while driving and I lost all pedal feeling, pulled over and pumped the brakes and there was a good puddle of fluid under that brake.
Is there a way to just pinch that brake line or isolate it from not gettin fluid somehow?

I just need ti make it home about 2 miles

The car has a teggy rear disc conversion if it matters.

Thanks guys

Since you pumped it when you stopped chances are you dont have any brakefluid in the reservoir, you can pinch it, but I dont see what good it would do now.

Just drive slowly and use the handbrake to stop.

Yeah just put vise grips on the line fill the fluid and drive carefully to where you need to go.
Be safe.
